Liverpool reasserted their Premier League title credentials with a breezy 3-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday (Aug 31).

Raheem Sterling, Steven Gerrard and Alberto Moreno scored the goals for Liverpool at White Hart Lane to give Brendan Rodgers victory in his 100th game as manager and end Tottenham’s 100 percent record.

"Overall our quality was exceptional. We got three goals and could have had more," said Rodgers, 41.

Mario Balotelli, 24, made his Liverpool debut after his £16 million (S$33.1 million) move from AC Milan on Monday (Aug 25) and he produced an enterprising display before being withdrawn in the 61st minute.
